at the Festival’s Saturday night dinner.
The ACBS International sponsored “Best Preserved-Most Original” Award went to Chesapeake Bay members Steve & Stephanie Beling for
their 1967 17’ Chris Craft Custom Ski, “Headhunter”.
Last years International Annual Meeting and Boat Show at Lake George, NY was well attended by Members of the Chesapeake Bay Chapter.
It’s time to mark your calendars for two very important ACBS International events in 2009:
1. The 2009 ACBS Boating Symposium will be held April 24-26, 2009 in Seattle, Washington at the Center for Wooden Boats.
2. The ACBS International Summer Quarterly Meeting will be held in conjunction with our Festival June 18-21, 2009.

CLASSIC CLUTCHESHandbags reflect passion for
woody watercraftCOUTURE meets the classic boat world with Cristi*Craft wooden hull handbags. Available in sev-eral styles and modeled after clas-sic boats, the bags are designed by Cristi Selvester and made by Thomas (Concourse award winning wooden boat restorer) bringing 26 years of experience and craftman-ship to each artistic piece. The bags match an owner’s full size boat, with the same letter style, stain, up-holstery, hull plaque, bottom paint, and a highly varnished finish. The bags come in several styles, eras, bows and sterns. The tran-som handbags with boat names in
matching script are the most popular. The company suggests the bags make good gifts for wives of restoration-ob-sessed husbands. Also available are shadow boxes to match your boat for your home or office.
